Vagrant Queen

"Cheesy", "Campy", "Retro"...? Do you truly understand what those terms mean? They only apply to shows that are able to be described that way and still be enjoyable! Vagrant Queen is NOT an enjoyable show. Horrid acting, especially by the lead actress. Makeup is questionable as to whether they're trying to look like crap or they ARE just crap. The effects are the only standout but with the technology available to almost any production budget nowadays... I'm not surprised.

To make matters worse is the amount of 8, 9 and 10 star reviews. Are you serious? It's rare to see ANYTHING that truly rates a 9 or a 10. To see so many highly rated reviews on this title is proof that they're likely actor and production staff for this show. Don't trust them... don't waste your time.

I wanted to like this show when it was described to me as "Guardians of the Galaxy with a black female lead". Sadly, it's worse than a cheap 80's Saturday morning show and some of those were at least entertaining, which this is not.

I haven't been watching much on SyFy and have yet to see a new show on that channel that is any good. This is the station that canceled the excellent show, The Expanse, that was fortunately picked up by Amazon Prime.

It's like a collection of cringe moments :)

I don't mind the really bad CGI, costumes and so on but the main character is so not interesting. Empty characters and copy/paste elements from other movies or games. Really bad production with nothing original. AND it has that MTV cheap and PC show style which is really really awful.

Yeah. A few minutes in and I had to acquire an alcoholic beverage to finish it. So-so to bad acting, cheesy lines, bad jokes, plot holes bigger than a planet.

BUT! LISTEN! That is what it is SUPPOSED to be! Do not click watch to see epic sci-fi. Click watch to see beings just trying to make a living in a verse, click to see salvage operations, space ships that need repair, bars full of bar flies of all kinds, and in spite of all the cheesiness, an almost realistic grit and desperation you see in real life. I gave it a 6 because it will do, for this viewer who is addicted to all things space, until other shows come along. After the alcohol hit, it got more tolerable, even enjoyable, AS LONG AS I REALIZED WHAT TO EXPECT.

It made as much sense as Space Balls, so there's that.

Fire the Casting Director. The lead actress cannot act and lacks charisma and personality. The cast has zero chemistry. The men are either bumbling or incompetent or evil, but at least likable. The women are strong, smart, brave, but irritating. I don't mind cheesy or low-budget prosthetic makeup and special effects if the script is fun, campy and intriguing - this show is none of those things. Episode 1 will be my last.
